Repairing Repairs

[Kyra]

Wow this is the lamest thing ive seen them add so far. Jesus christ you may as well remove the repair system entirely now as its completly pointless.

I agree that there was to many different types of repair mats needed, but it didnt need to be dumbed down into 1 generic repair mat for everything, thats terrible.

Why couldnt they make 1 or 2 repair mats for each craft so at least the repair material resembles what its going to repair. Like Wood for carpenter, Nugget for smithing.

This is the lamest shit ever.

How is it pointless? You're doing the same exact thing as before, except you just need one item of a certain grade to do it. It still gives you incentive not to die since you wont want to waste gil on more dark matter/repair fees, and you'll still need other items to actually make the equipment. Not to mention dark matter makes field repairs that much better to receive.

Close your eyes and pretend that your madcrazy ninjacrafter skillz are actually forming this raw dark matter into the wood for a bow repair, or a nugget for earrings. Why is it so hard to be glad that they're doing our inventories a favor?

Not to mention a streamlined repair system is still much better than the old one, and certainly much better than exp loss.

Its not done for "casual" players.

Where have they said this? Did I miss something? Link?

Well its not "just around the corner" but it is in the works.

I was discussing the repair issue with a friend who questioned how much difference it made whether your gear was damaged or not.

The bottom line is that they need to add a parser.

As someone who carries all of the repair mats for my gear in inventory, they need to throw us a bone. A parser would really help.

parser would really help.

I've seen at least 5 log parsers. a google search should help you.

In-game parser. Can I have it? Thank you very much.

Is it really that difficult to program?

I swear, I have never seen so many people on a game get so upset by convenience before. Every time they announce something as an attempt to streamline something or, in many cases, just have it make sense, people are jumping down their throats with tripe.

Repairs for your gear should have never been such an involved process in the first place, but because they already had them as such, they left in the ability for crafters to still be the highlight of repairs. SE is trying very hard to work with everyone to leave in things that enrich different styles of gameplay, but there is NOTHING about this change that makes the game more casual. Repairs are still going to be preferred for crafters to do. All that's really changing is that there will be a unilateral resource to go to that makes it more convenient for all jobs to collect.

If they had just gone to a single click system with the NPC's doing all of the repairs, all crafters would have cried foul about that. The system needed to change, it was unnecessarily complex with a fairly vast amount of design bloat. With durability hits being taken on death, repairs don't need to be a project you have to spend half your game time working on every time you want to go explore a region.

"Are there any plans to implement a housing system for players and linkshells?
Yoshida: Yes, as it's on the plan, it will surely be implemented even if it takes time. It will be implemented gradually with several phases. Please be patient until it's unveiled!"
